Preseason
This 2016 Lafayette Generals football team had very big expectations heading into this season. Being that "  A public Lexington school hasn’t won a football championship since; Lafayette got closer than any school this century before falling to a historically dominant Male team in the finals, 41-14, last December". Lafayette had a strong team coming back this season only losing 6 starters combined on both sides of the ball. With Jedrick Wills and Walker Wood leading this season, the team wanted nothing less than to be State Champions.
